NEW DELHI: The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI<\/a>) has proposed restricting the use of the term \u201cpaneer\u201d for analogue paneer and cheese products, seeking to prevent consumers from being misled about the nature and composition of the food they buy.The proposed amendment would affect food business operators, including hotels, restaurants and catering services, that use substitutes for traditional dairy-based paneer or cheese products.Under the proposal, products made using paneer or cheese analogues would have to be clearly identified to consumers. The FSSAI said businesses using such products must disclose the information prominently at consumer touchpoints, including menu cards and packaging labels, in line with the Food Safety and Standards (Labelling and Display) Regulations.The FSSAI notification said: “The amendment is proposed in the following regulation to restrict manufacturing and sale of analogue product as paneer so as to prevent misleading of consumer\u2019s regarding the nature and composition of the product. Products already licensed or registered under \u2018Analogue in Dairy Context\u2019 category shall discontinue the use of the term \u201cPaneer\u201d in their nomenclature, labelling or marketing.<\/p>\n
